Vertical day.

Through Lei Juekun's connections, Ye Jingcheng found the address of Ip Man's children living in Hong Kong. The person in charge of receiving him was Ip Man's eldest son Ye Zhun and Huang Chunliang, the chief disciple of Ip Man's lineage.

Originally, Ye Jingcheng was worried that the other party would not agree, so he found many reasons in advance to prevaricate and persuade. Unexpectedly, as soon as they proposed to convert Ip Man into a movie theme, Ye Zhun and Huang Chunliang not only readily agreed, but even did not need him to pay half a point for the right to use the portrait.

There is only one condition, that is, Ye Jingcheng wants to use the Ye Family Martial Arts Hall as the main scene in the movie, and it is best to promote it in the movie.

To be honest, the martial arts hall is becoming less and less popular in this year. Especially in a large-scale martial arts hall like the Ye family, although there are hundreds of disciples in the sect, it is obviously beyond its means.

What's more, the competitiveness is too great now, and the threat does not come from other big martial arts halls, but small martial arts halls that are blooming everywhere.

These small martial arts halls have been simplified by throwing away the old customs, basically three or two people who have left their hands can be masters, and the rented space only needs the size of one or two classrooms, and the tuition fees of a few apprentices will not be lost.

And today's young people are greedy for fun, they don't really want to learn a good skill, it's enough to learn a few tricks to play handsome pickles, and they will come to the door to apprentice as before, so that it will be more difficult for them to come out as regular martial artists.

Ye Jingcheng followed the two of them to inspect the martial arts hall, and then responded to the other party's request. He was still thinking about where to find a suitable scene, but the other party's request was simply to pay him upside down.

After dealing with the issue of Ip Man's portrait use rights, the plan to shoot the film was finalized, and Ye Jingcheng began to contact various characters.

The first person to contact was Ren Dahua, and the other party responded to this matter by phone. It's just that Ren Dahua knows that he is just a cameo, not even a supporting actor, and he inevitably has a gap in his heart, and he doesn't know whether his departure is right or wrong.

The second contact is Zheng Fangshi, after a brief understanding, Ye Jingcheng learned that Zheng Fangshi starred in a drama series of "Four-Eyed Detective" in the early years, but unfortunately the mediocre response caused me to be in a tepid stage, and there seems to be an idea behind the development at present.

Ye Jingcheng tentatively said a few words of solicitation, and the topic was announced.

First of all, Zheng Fangshi pays attention to the development platform, so the chance of staying in the wireless position is much greater than that of passing the green lantern entertainment. Secondly, he still has a contract with Shaw Brothers, and Ye Jingcheng has to pay a lot of price to win him over.

Although it is impossible to win over the other party at the moment, it is really not so easy to ask him to play a cameo role. First, he and Shaw Brothers do not have an actor contract, and his personality is just like the surface, he is simple and fat and easy to talk.

Otherwise, he would not have topped the file for a singer friend in the future, and took the initiative to bear a series of debts of the other company, so that he would become one of the male Hong Kong stars with a miserable evening.

What's more, being able to appear in Ye Jingcheng's movie must have benefited Zheng Fangshi a lot, so naturally there is no reason to refuse this invitation.

The three original roles have been co-opted to two, and now Hong Jinbao is the supporting actor.

Ye Jingcheng returned to the company and took a sip of water, and first called Lin Zhengying, and he had to lead the way at this meeting. What's more, Lin Zhengying's transfer has not yet been settled, and this time he and Hong Jinbao will deal with this matter.

……

"Sanmao, he should be here." Coming to a theater in Mong Kok, Lin Zhengying pointed to the gate of the theater.

Originally, Ye Jingcheng planned to go to Hong Jinbao's company, but he didn't expect to see the other party anywhere at all, and learned from the secretary that Hong Jinbao went out to watch a play.

According to Lin Zhengying's understanding of him, every time Hong Jinbao has a movie released, he will choose to come to this theater to explore the bottom, so the two of them switched here.

"Then let's go in."

The two entered the theater together, and Hong Jinbao's fat figure soon appeared in front of the two of them. Lin Zhengying walked over and put his arm on the other party's shoulder from behind.

"What the hell?" Hong Jinbao turned his head and saw Lin Zhengying and the two walking side by side, more or less guessed, so he confirmed: "A-Ying, this is ......"

Ye Jingcheng took a step forward and introduced himself: "Hong Sheng, look up for a long time, I am Ye Jingcheng." ”

"Oh!" Hong Jinbao pretended to come to his senses, and the two shook hands and said, "Hello, in fact, you don't have to be so polite, you don't mind just calling me Brother Sanmao." ”

"Brother Sanmao." Ye Jingcheng didn't continue to be polite with the other party, not to mention that he didn't suffer from this title.

Hong Jinbao beckoned Ye Jingcheng to sit down, introduced the two senior brothers beside him, and said, "These two are my junior brothers, Yuan Hua and Yuan Biao. ”

"Hello." The two sides shook hands.

Regarding Ye Jingcheng's intention, Hong Jinbao's brothers, except for Chenglong, who is filming a new film, all know what is going on.

Hong Jinbao, in particular, has his own plans in his heart. Secretly sigh that sometimes it's really hard to be angry, if you are good to this brother, you will definitely be left out in the cold to another brother. Since Lin Zhengying has a better development, he might as well push the boat down the river and send the other party out.

What's more, the object is still Ye Jingcheng, let the other party owe him a favor, and there will always be a time when he can use it in the future. But those are things in the future, if Ye Jingcheng takes a fancy to this favor, it would be better to ask him for a script now.

Before Ye Jingcheng came over, he did think about exchanging the script for Lin Zhengying and others. But I just thought about it, and the friendship between him and Hong Jinbao has not yet reached the point of giving the script to the other party in three or two sentences.

After the two sat down, they were not in a hurry to cut to the chase, and after chatting about gossip, Hong Jinbao pointed to the screen and asked, "Cheng Zai, how do you watch my play?" ”

"Brother Sanmao, your movies have always had quality assurance, I don't think it will be less than four million, right?"

Hong Jinbao's "Lin Shirong", both in terms of the quality of the film and the plot of the story, is much higher than ordinary movies, which is why his movies are defined as high-quality by the audience.

"Huh." Hong Jinbao smiled, I don't know if he was happy or helpless, anyway, it looked like an awkward smile.

The cost of this movie is less than one million, if it is really like the amount Ye Jingcheng said, then Hong Jinbao can get at least 1.5 million dividends.

In the past, he would definitely pull his brothers to have a celebration banquet, the problem is in front of Ye Jingcheng, a young man, his achievements are estimated to be only a fraction of the other party's, and a movie will earn him a year's money.

Yuan Hua didn't know what he was thinking, and he seemed to be a little unable to react, so he said incomprehensibly: "There's no reason, why can the movie you make can exceed 10 million, and Brother Sanmao's movie is only not less than 4 million." ”

"Ahem, can this be the same?"

Hong Jinbao coughed dryly, he knew that Yuan Hua didn't mean to say this, but his personality was more backward. Sometimes I will say the words in my heart naturally.

"Cheng Zai's "Yin and Yang Error", whether it is the plot or the routine, is not comparable to our film, plus what the audience needs is freshness."

Ye Jingcheng glanced at Hong Jinbao unexpectedly, this fat man's eyes are really not ordinary and vicious, the mainstream movies that are still playing in the theater can no longer keep up with the times, and if you want to be flexible, you can really start with the three words freshness.

"It's still too noisy here, Cheng Zai, why don't we go to the playback room and talk?"

Ye Jingcheng nodded in agreement, and Hong Jinbao pressed Yuan Hua and Yuan Biao, who were about to get up, and motioned for them to continue watching the play. Then he took Ye Jingcheng to the playback room.

Sending a cigarette to the other party, Ye Jingcheng said: "Brother Sanmao, I think you also know the purpose of my visit this time." ”

"I know." Hong Jinbao turned his mouth over, and after Ye Jingcheng lit a cigarette for him, he spread his hands and said: "A-Ying, a few of them want to leave, I can't blame them for anything, I only hope that they will have a better development with you." ”

"Brother Sanmao, it's better to be like this. I have one more thing to trouble you here, counting the passing fees of Brother Ying and them, how about I pay a million? Ye Jingcheng said.

Lin Zhengying and a few people left, and Hong Jinbao couldn't stop it. But he's a big man, and he always has to explain to other brothers. If the brothers say a few words to him, and then go wherever they want, then it is not interesting for him to be the boss.

Now Ye Jingcheng is using money to solve the problem, which is not a good way. Sometimes money is easier to talk about than friendship, and as long as Hong Jinbao goes back to spread the matter, it can indirectly give a warning to the other brothers.

Are you leaving? Okay, I won't stop you, get the transfer fee first.

Accepting the check handed over by Ye Jingcheng, Hong Jinbao said humbly: "Chengzai, I may not be able to help you with your trouble." ”

"It's just a matter of time for you to Brother Sanmao, I think you will play a supporting role in my new play, and the filming of the scene will take about one or two weeks." Ye Jingcheng said.

"That's it? Okay, no problem. Hong Jinbao flicked the check and said boldly.

People are selfish, and among the million, he plans to use 800,000 yuan as his own salary, and the other 200,000 yuan as the transfer fee for Lin Zhengying and others, which can be regarded as an explanation to other brothers.

"That's right, Makoto. If you have extra ideas in the future, you might as well consider Brother Sanmao and me, and the money and silver guarantee will not be less of you. ”

Hong Jinbao seemed to be afraid that someone would hear it, so he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Actually, Ah Yu and I are good friends, and I know about your three scripts before." ”

Well!

Ye Jingcheng glanced at him, and the Ah Yu in Hong Jinbao's mouth should be Chen Xunqi. It's just that what is the relationship between these two people, Chen Xunqi even told him about it.

"Let's talk to you like this." Seeing that Ye Jingcheng seemed to be suspicious, Hong Jinbao was also frank. said: "Actually, I also have shares in Yongjia Films. ”

Now Ye Jingcheng finally understood that it turned out to be a family eating two meals, no wonder he and Chen Xunqi were so close, and the two of them cooperated from time to time.
